    Have you any idea on the internal situation in Iran? Talk to any Iranian, you will learn of things. Even before the western sanctions the people suffered. This idea of us vs them crap and everything is solely the fault of western influence is insulting to anyone from the region.

    I don’t think the practice of shooting shotguns into crowds from rooftops was something caused by western sanctions for example.

    Enough with two sides team based simplistic sense of geopolitics. Israel is a warmongering aggressor state who is attacking Iran, an autocratic theocracy that commits crimes on its own people on a regular basis. There is no reason two things can not be true and terrible at the same time.


  • For the oligarchs to be arrested ----> No agreed list of who that includes, in this case if you had a good monkeys paw story their would be some wealthy people with concerns about the collapse of their nation in the people arrested. It would be thematic and realistic.

    For a new democratic government to be installed. ----> Once again, no agreed on end state. This one is really easy since for many (myself included) the usa has not been a democratic nation in many many years but I do understand people classify it as such. Hell there are people that say russia is a democratic nation with a straight face. There is just way to much leeway for the monkey’s paw to mess with here.

    And yeah the last one we agree on is prime monkey’s paw material.
